Directions

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees
• To a large sauce pot over medium heat add in the oil. Once hot, stir in the minced garlic for 20 seconds and then stir in the tomato sauce, crushed tomatoes, 1 tsp salt, and 2 tsp Italian seasoning and stir well. Turn heat to low and let simmer covered for 12 minutes.
• Work on the meatloaf now. Crush the saltine crackers up until they are crumbs. To a large bowl add the saltine crumbs, eggs, and milk then stir well. Once well combined let sit for 7 minutes so the saltines can absorb the milk. Now add in the remaining meatloaf mixture ingredients except for the cheese. Stir to combine the ingredient well.
• Grease a 9×13 baking dish with non-stick spray place the meatloaf mixture into the baking dish and form it into a loaf. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 55 minutes.
• Remove the aluminum foil and sprinkle the cheese over the top. Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes. Enjoy!
